Looking for some thoughts on switching from a 2016 GM 6.6 Liter Turbo Diesel V8 Duramax LML engine to a 2024 AT4 3.0 Duramax.
Primarily use the truck for pulling a wake surf boat (7800lbs) or enclosed trailer with a 4 door Polaris General with gear when camping hunting.
My 2016 is beginning to have random quirky issues… had to replace 2 thermostats which was spendy as hell. Now the truck is periodically “clunking” when I almost come to a stop at traffic lights. Ticks me off because I’ve babied this truck. Has around 116k miles on it.
I live in mountainous terrain, so I don’t know if it’s a mistake to go from a 3/4 ton to a a newer 1/2 ton? Should I keep with 3/4?
Is the 3.0 better for not getting stuck when offroad? The 3/4 is a heavy beast.
